Teenage pop idol Justin Bieber has revealed he wants to try out glamping because it is "cool".

The 18-year-old singing sensation admitted he is intrigued by the idea of glamorous camping as a way of exploring his outdoorsy side.

He told this month's We Love Pop magazine: ''I heard of this thing called Glamping.

''It's like glamorous camping. You heard of it? It's GLAM-ping.''

The pop star went on to explain that he thinks the glamping is cool because you can have similar luxuries as being at home.

He continued: ''You sleep on a bed. It's a mattress bed! In a huge tent with TV and everything. You have electricity and stuff but you're still in amongst the wildlife. It's pretty cool.''

it's not the first time the Canadian pop heartthrob has spoken of his love of camping. Last year he told fans on Twitter that he was on a camping trip "literally in the middle of nowhere".

Bieber, who also posted pictures from his trip, told his 11 million followers: "Enjoying time with my family, literally in the middle of nowhere, but this nowhere place is pretty beautiful".

And the young star added later: "On the water, about to have a campfire. Camping is legit."
